PALM SPRINGS, Calif. >> Ten people were injured after a police traffic officer on a motorcycle crashed into bystanders at a holiday parade in Palm Springs, authorities said.

All of the injured were taken to hospitals for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening Saturday night, including the police officer, according to police.

The name of officer wasn’t immediately released, but The Palm Springs Post reported that the policeman may have suffered a traumatic injury to his wrist.

The Desert Sun said witnesses told the newspaper that the officer was reportedly popping a wheelie and suddenly lost control of his motorcycle.

It slid into the crowd of spectators and brought the festive event to a standstill for more than an hour.
